[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got advice once that unless I was 100% sure I would never accept a job (even 2% maybe is different), I should not back out of an interview process. This is reasonable...and as a hiring manager I don't mind candidates that are less than 50% sure about the job during the process.

As to "feeling it". I am hiring for a couple senior roles, and there was one technically strong candidate who gave me pause interpersonally. I met him in person, and I feel much more confiedent about them now. My poitn is, ask to meet the team in person if you haven't yet.[/quote]

It was a virtual panel; I would be moving for the new job so I guess the expectation is I would accept offer and then meet in person. So kind of high stakes[/quote]

ooof. Honestly, I'd want an in-person trip before accepting if I'm moving for an employer, even if they are footing the bill. (*do* they offer a relo package?)

That said, none of the jobs I felt only so-so about I actually got offers for. If you aren't feeling it, they probably aren't either.[/quote]

One of the panel even said that I was interviewing the team and to think about how I would fit in with them. Demographically I am VERY different from them; I liked them all and they seemed very accomplished— I’m not even sure what feels off? We will work closely and I fear I will be the odd one out I guess and that will be a problem maybe??[/quote]
